Review school

Marymount School is an independent, Catholic day school founded to educate girls in a tradition of academic excellence and moral values. The School promotes in each student a respect for her unique abilities while encouraging the development of her own voice and a commitment to responsible living in a changing world. Marymount celebrates diversity and draws upon it to foster cultural sensitivity, religious understanding and a global perspective. From Nursery through Class XII, the School affirms the value of educating students in a challenging, innovative learning environment. Central to the mission of the School is the development of critical and creative thinking, clear expression and a lifelong love of learning. Emphasizing classical disciplines, the arts and scientific inquiry, the rigorous college preparatory curriculum fosters the intellectual, aesthetic, physical and spiritual development of students and incorporates technology as an essential tool for learning. Honored by Apple for its exemplary program, Marymount offers a wide range of activities that complement the academic program and increase opportunities for competition, collaboration and leadership.
